Project Initiation Notification System (PINS)ANSI Procedures require notification of ANSI by ANSI-accredited standards developers (ASD) of the initiation and scope of activities expected to result innew or revised American National Standards (ANS). Early notification of activity intended to reaffirm or withdraw an ANS and in some instances a PINSrelated to a national adoption is optional. The mechanism by which such notification is given is referred to as the PINS process. For additional information,see clause 2.4 of the ANSI Essential Requirements: Due Process Requirements for American National Standards.
Following is a list of proposed actions and new ANS that have been received recently from ASDs. Please also review the section in Standards Action entitled"American National Standards Maintained Under Continuous Maintenance" for additional or comparable information with regard to standards maintainedunder the continuous maintenance option.

Information Concerning
Procedures and Standards Administration Project initiation of a new Technical Report
B11.TR7, Designing for Safety and Lean Manufacturing: A guide on integrating safety and lean manufacturing principles in the use of machinery The Association for Manufacturing Technology wishes to announce the intent to draft a new technical report.
B11.TR7, Designing for Safety and Lean Manufacturing: A guide on integrating safety and lean manufacturing principles in the use of machinery (NOT AN AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD)
Project Need: Lean manufacturing is increasingly being implemented in the U.S. and globally. The goals of safety can often be perceived as being at odds with the goals of lean, and may be either unwittingly or intentionally sacrificed. This Technical Report will pride guidance on the appropriate and mutually beneficial integration of lean and safety concepts.
Stakeholders: Machinery designers, suppliers and users
This project would create a new Technical Report under the auspices of the ANSI B11 Accredited Standards Committee on Machine Tool Safety that would provide guidance on the practical application of safety and lean manufacturing principles to machinery and manufacturing systems for improving performance, safety and quality by reducing injury and waste. The guidelines in this technical report will assist machine tool users to minimize waste and risk associated with machinery and manufacturing systems, including individual and integrated machine tools and auxiliary components.
Interested parties wishing to comment or participate in its development may contact: Order from: David Felinski, AMT (ASC B11); [email protected].

Final Draft Revision of the International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology
Comment Deadline: September 22, 2006 ANSI has been advised this final draft revision is available for comment. The scope of which is:
In this Vocabulary, a set of definitions and associated terms is given, in English and French, for a system of basic and general concepts used in metrology, together with concept diagrams to demonstrate their relations. Additional information is given in the form of examples and notes under many definitions.
This Vocabulary is meant to be a common reference for scientists and engineers, including physicists, chemists, medical scientists, as well as for both teachers and practitioners, involved in planning or performing measurements, irrespective of the level of measurement uncertainty and irrespective of the field of application. It is also meant to be a reference for governmental and inter-governmental bodies, trade associations, accreditation bodies, regulators, and professional societies.
Concepts used in different approaches to describe measurement are presented together. The member organizations of the JCGM can select the concepts and definitions in accordance with their respective terminologies. Nevertheless, this Vocabulary is intended to promote global harmonization of terminology used in metrology.
Anyone wishing to obtain a copy of the draft for review please send an email to Henrietta Scully at: [email protected]. Comments need to be submitted, using the template provided, by September 22nd to Emil Hazarian, Chairman of the Glossary Committee of the National Conference of Standards Laboratories International (NCSLI), at e-mail: [email protected].
